Dear Students, Parents, and Friends of REACH,
Welcome back to a new new school year! We are excited to begin a new year filled with anticipation for the exciting events and programs designed to enrich students’ curiosity, engage new discoveries, and inspire personal achievements.
As the REACH Foundation opened our doors this year, we're not just returning to school; we're launching new programs, opening possibilities for growth, and making new friends and connections.
We have exciting plans in place to introduce our PYL students, families and community to programs that will enrich, engage, and inspire.
Here's a sneak peek of what to expect this Fall:
- Experience Your Environment Evening Guided Hike: Our commitment to cutting-edge environmental education remains unwavering. The 4th Annual Experience Your Environment program brings students, families and nature enthusiasts together to explore the wonders of science while enjoying the beauty of our local park, Carbon Canyon Regional Park. What's new this year is the event will take place in the evening. The guided hike will be led by Inside the Outdoors, an award winning environmental education organization, administered by Orange County Department of Education.
- First Lego League Robotics: Hands on skills in STEAM building and coding a basic robot for grades 4- 8. Spring '23 Workshops lead to Fall '23 competitions.
- Communicating with Confidence Learning Labs: An active learning, hands-on, and student led program to engage and prepare students to communicate with confidence in the 21st Century.
- From the Inside Speakers Panel: Our PYL Alumni, dedicated district administrators, are here to nurture, guide, and inspire our students to reach their full potential.
- High School Internship Program: We offer real-world opportunities, challenges, and projects to engage students in developing leadership, communications, and project management skills. Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage, contribute, and be an active part of our educational journey.
- 2023 Shamrock ‘n Run, 5K, 2K, and Square Course: We're strengthening our sense of community by promoting active and healthy lifestyles at our 11th annual Shamrock 'n Run where students, parents, teachers, administrators, local businesses and community members gather to run/walk and celebrate PYL's musicians, choral and dance teams, and more!
We're excited to work closely with our district partners to ensure a seamless and enriching educational experience for all students.
As we step into this new school year, we do so with enthusiasm, hope, and the shared goal of making this year truly exceptional. Each student, teacher, and parent plays a crucial role in our vibrant school community, and together, we will create memorable moments, overcome challenges, and celebrate successes.
We are looking forward to a year filled with growth, exploration, and achievement. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our doors, and our hearts, are always open.
Let's make this year a memorable and magical year at PYLUSD!
Warm regards,
Gisele Nguyen,
